On Saturday 14th of April 2018, the 2nd IBS Network Conference was held in Sheffield. We were proud to sponsor this fantastic event which proved to be a great day for those who attended!

The IBS Network is the UK’s national charity that focuses on supporting people with IBS, and they play a key role in raising awareness of IBS through their work.

Activities on the day included presentations by leading figures in the IBS world – including a talk from our very own Dr Anthony Hobson. Discussion topics covered recent scientific developments, how treatments have changed, the importance of dietary intervention, and how the bacteria in our gut can affect the symptoms of IBS.

In addition, there were food workshops with nutritional advice, plus Q and A sessions where patients had the chance to learn more from IBS specialists.
